 Let's say our computation consists of calculating the `k`-th number in the fibonacci sequence. This is just the sequence of numbers $`a_n`$ satisfying
 
 ```math
-a_0 = 1 \\
-a_1 = 1 \\
-a_{n+2} = a_{n + 1} + a_n \\
+a_0 = 1 
+```
+
+```math
+a_1 = 1 
+```
+
+```math
+a_{n+2} = a_{n + 1} + a_n 
 ```
 
 An execution trace for this just consists of a table with one column, where each row is the `i`-th number in the sequence:
